Perrierodendron quartzitorum

Perrierodendron quartzitorum grows as a shrub or small tree up to 6 metres (20 ft) tall. Its chartaceous to subcoriaceous leaves are obovate to elliptical in shape. They are coloured dark green above, pale green below and measure up to 4 cm (2 in) long. The inflorescences bear one to three flowers, each with five sepals and five white petals. The orange fruits are conical and measure up to 2.5 cm (1 in) long.[3]

Perrierodendron quartzitorum is found only in a single location in the Itremo Massif in the central region of Amoron'i Mania. The estimated area of occupancy is 45 km² (17 sq mi). Its habitat is rocky areas and woodlands at about 1,000–2,000 m (3,300–6,600 ft) altitude.[2]

Perrierodendron quartzitorum is threatened by nomadic animal grazing and seasonal uncontrolled wildfires. The species population is decreasing.[1] Formerly, there were subpopulations in Isalo and Zombitse-Vohibasia National Parks,[2] but, as of the IUCN species assessment in 2015, there are no longer any subpopulations in protected areas.[1]
